After you passed away Snoop would sit by your bedroom door and cry. He just knew that he missed his 'playmate'. You were the one who would get down on the floor and 'rough' him up. You would tease him mercilessly with false punches and growls. You would toss him in the air and wrestle with him. And he loved every minute of it. He kept coming back for more and more and more!
Every time your mates come to visit us, Snoop gets very excited! He knows that someone is going to push him around and play 'properly' with him. Apparently, John and Sian and I just don't quite cut it!
Just after Christmas we decided to get another dog, thinking that maybe that was what Snoop needed. We brought Rosie the Golden Cocker Spaniel home and decided to give her a one month trial.
Snoop hated it!! I suppose he was no longer given sole attention and was being dominated by a 'bitch'!
After a month we found a lovely home for Rosie and surprisingly Snoop bounced back to his old self. He just needed to know that life is still ok!
Just goes to show...dogs are just like us!! They pine, they cry, they miss you intensely...but life has to go on! And when we stop to think about it through the tears and the longing, our lives are pretty good...they just have a great BIG missing piece!!
